Any gotcha's with mapei epoxy tile grout?
Lots of grumbles on web about epoxy grouts in general (mostly from plumbers...,) but seems straightforward enough - or is it?
TIA

Don't like it myself - very difficult to apply, and a right pain to clean up after application. Tends to discolour anyway.
I prefer a decent "normal" grout, and then treating it with Lithofin Grout Protector.
It's stickier and harder to work than normal grout, and there is limited time before it goes off. Use a heavy duty rubber bladed tiling squeegee to work into the joints and clear the tile surface. Then free the sticky residue from the tile surface with a wet plastic 'scotchgard' type scourer before wiping clean with a sponge in the normal way.
mmm sounds like an added pain indeed.
would you bother with it for a "steam shower cubicle"?
Jim K
No. Normal showers seem to suffer most in the lower areas where they are exposed to direct water jets and spray. The steam seems to have less effect.
Yes the evidence does bear that out here...
